None of us can ever save himself we are the instruments of one another’s salvation, and only by the hope that we give to others do we lift ourselves out of the darkness into light.
Dean Koontz
Image
Only the human spirit can act with volition and consciously change itself it is the only thing in all creation that is not entirely at the mercy of forces outside itself.

Duty doesn't need to call it only needs to whisper. And if you heed the call, no matter what happens, you have no need for regret. Odd Thomas

When a liar became too skilled at deception, he could lose the ability to discern truth, and could himself be more easily deceived.
Dean Koontz

Each book is a mind alive, a life revealed, a world awaiting exploration, but living people are all those things, as well—and more, because their stories haven’t yet been completely told.

Being alone can be good. It's easy to find peace alone. But sometimes, being alone is a king of death.

I don't mean to imply that I'm afraid of Death. I'm just not ready to go out on a date with him.
